Running it from a console (no X installed)

Turns out that if I ssh using putty it works sort of fine.

are you running this from a console or on a x terminal window?

if it's a terminal window, do you have some wacky font selected that
isn't fixed width or has some other strange properties?  try running
it from just a plain "xterm" (i.e. type xterm at your prompt and run
in that) or run it on a console (ctrl-alt-f1 usually to switch).
